How good is No7’s new Future Renew range?

Boots own brand No7 doesn’t really need any introduction. It’s been a British beauty classic for over 80 years and even if you’ve never tried it yourself you’ll recognise it on the bathroom shelves of your mum, aunt, grandma and friends. When we heard the new Future Renew range took 15 years to develop we were naturally curious. Apparently we weren’t the only ones as the five-month supply sold out in a day.

Dubbed ‘Botox in a bottle’ by many beauty fans, the four-product range features a new ‘super peptide’ technology which the brand says is a world first. The technology targets signs of skin damage, ‘including poor skin texture, uneven skin tone, lack of skin firmness, dullness, dryness, fine lines and wrinkles.’ Mike Bell, Head of Research at No7. Is this the answer to the days we forget to apply sunscreen, neglect our skincare routines, stay up late, drink and live life to the fullest? Three R29ers took the opportunity to test these claims by swapping their usual skincare routines for No7’s Future Renew range for two months. Read on to find out more about their progress. Review after two months of use I ran out of my favourite product from the range – Future Renew Night Cream, £34.95 – a few weeks ago, but I’m sure it will still give me some use. While it didn’t do much to reduce the wrinkles on my forehead, it did help a bit with the fine lines under my eyes. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: skin texture is perfectly normal and ageing is a privilege, but I love experimenting with make-up and it often collects in those tiny wrinkles. I probably notice these changes more than others. No one else can get that close! To be honest, I wasn’t impressed with the other products in the Future Renew range, so I switched to another moisturiser: Vichy Minéral 89 72hr Moisture Boosting Cream, £22. In my opinion, it’s just as good – and cheaper. This

The texture is a gel-cream, but it’s rich enough to deeply moisturize and keep the skin beautifully hydrated. Just like No7, it doesn’t bother me and goes on seamlessly with makeup. If you want to spend less, this is a good option.

Like No7 Night Cream, it also contains moisturizing glycerin, hydrating hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide to control oil secretion and keep the skin barrier in good shape.

Review after one month of use

If you read my review after a week of using the new No7 Future Renew range, you’ll know that the night cream is my favorite product. The consistency of the gel-cream makes it lightweight but very moisturizing, and I love the subtle hydration it gives my skin, so much so that I apply it under my sunscreen in the mornings, too. Almost a month has passed, morning and night, and the jar is empty. I had high hopes that this would reduce the wrinkles on my forehead, but after 28 days I didn’t notice any changes. However, it worked wonders on the fine lines under my eyes. Now I don’t have to tell you that there is nothing wrong with your skin texture. Fine lines and wrinkles are a normal and natural part of aging, and that’s a privilege. But I love makeup, which often builds up on my wrinkles and makes my skin look dry. Since I’ve been using it, those fine lines have improved and my makeup adheres to my skin better. I also love that it doesn’t make my skin break out like most moisturizers do, so it’s perfect for oily, acne-prone skin. ”

First I’d like to say that fine lines, wrinkles are absolutely fine. We know that skin aging is inevitable and getting older is a privilege. That’s why I’m glad that there’s no mention of “anti-aging” at all in the new No7 range. Instead, it’s designed to reduce skin damage caused by many different factors, such as pollution or sun exposure. This is achieved through the use of peptides, which are essentially proteins that strengthen the skin.

Despite working in the cosmetics industry, I have to admit that I didn’t take sun protection all that seriously. How could I? I work in an apartment with a large window that gets plenty of sun and I often have to remind myself that long-wave UV rays (the leading cause of premature aging) can penetrate glass. When I turned 30, I noticed more wrinkles on my forehead and under my eyes. When my skin is dehydrated or I don’t use the right moisturizer, my under-eye wrinkles tend to get deeper. Full disclosure: I’ve used “Baby Botox” in the past, but the effects were completely gone, so I was curious how this product line would perform.

First, I went straight for what I consider to be the most hyped serum. After using it morning and night for over a week, I didn’t notice much of a difference in texture on my forehead, but because it’s so comfortable and

Reassuringly, I noticed that the delicate skin under my eyes was less wrinkled and dry than usual, leading to noticeable fine lines. This plumping effect was even more impressive when I used it in conjunction with the eye serum. However

Speaking of the eye area, I don’t think the new Peptide Eye Serum can top the brand’s 2021 Eye Line Correction Enhancer Serum. I saw visible results immediately (and you can, too), thanks to the star ingredient, Matrixyl 3000.

Here you can clearly see it).

I think my favorite product from the new peptide line is the night cream. The gel-cream texture absorbs quickly and leaves my skin with a dewy glow. So much so that I wear it under my sunscreen in the morning. It’s

perfect for my acne-prone skin and I love how it feels: comfortable, hydrating, but not at all heavy.

Now let’s talk about the SPF 40 Day Cream, which, to be honest, I won’t be using in the future because it’s a little too slippery for my oily, acne-prone skin. I only used it once and decided it wasn’t for me. Instead, I stuck with the serum

Or my night cream plus my current mattifying sun protection factor (L’Oréal Revitalift Clinical Vitamin C SPF 50+ Daily UV Protection Liquid). I think I’ll also put the eye serum on hold for now and just use the larger, more worthy face serum.

All in all, I’ll continue using the serum and night cream for the recommended four weeks to see if there’s a noticeable change in my skin. It takes time!

After a particularly intense few months, my diet, fitness, and sleep have all taken a hit, and so has my skin. Now a dry, grey, line-ridden face with two blue bags under my eyes is looking back at me

The mirror opens. So I grabbed these products with both hands, hoping they’ll help me regain my glow.

As a long-time fan of No7 (also known as the Protect & Perfect range), I was excited for these four new products. At first glance, they look pretty much the same as the Protect & Perfect products, although the silver color scheme is more eye-catching.

If you’re a fan of the range, switching is easy. The three-step routine (separate for day and night creams) is short, sweet, and easy to use. The serum is a little thick compared to many similar products on the market, but my dehydrated skin soaked it up. The eye cream feels like most other eye creams I’ve tried, without the immediate tightness, while the day and night creams have a more gel-like consistency that’s perfect for my dry, moisturized, dull complexion. After a week (a short period of time to see if the product is really working), there wasn’t a huge difference, but my face looked a little plumper and felt a little softer. A win is a win. I’ll check back in three weeks to see how it’s doing after a month of use. We’re hoping for some major results.

DQH Can I use salicylic acid first and then vitamin C? It’s easy to create a skincare routine, but knowing how to use it is another thing entirely. In most cases, if you’re not getting the desired skin results, it could be due to the layering of conflicting ingredients. So, is it possible that salicylic acid and vitamin C are such ingredients? Or are these active ingredients the duo that’s been missing from your skincare routine? If you want answers, stick around because today we are going to explain the benefits of salicylic acid and vitamin C and how they can be used in your daily life. What are the benefits of salicylic acid for skin? Salicylic acid is one of the most commonly used beta hydroxy acids and is favored by many people with oily, acne-prone skin. This acid is derived from willow bark, and unlike its water-soluble relatives (called alpha-hydroxy acids), salicylic acid is oil-soluble, which means it can penetrate deeper into the lower layers of the skin. Once it reaches the lower layers, it can help unclog pores of excess sebum, dirt, bacteria, debris, and impurities. This results in clearer skin tones and greater definition. Not only does salicylic acid benefit the underlying layers, but the outer surface of the skin benefits as well. When applied to the skin, salicylic acid removes the buildup of dead skin cells. This is accomplished by breaking the bonds that hold dead cells to the surface. Over time, this can cause the complexion to look dull and prone to acne, blackheads, and other blemishes. If you’d like to learn more about salicylic acid and how it can improve your skin, check out this dedicated blog post from a beauty insider. What are the benefits of vitamin C for skin? Vitamin C is considered one of the most powerful antioxidants, which means it is very effective at fighting free radicals and preventing them from causing further skin damage. Examples of free radicals include pollution, central heating, UV rays and harsh climate. They attack proteins, fats and cell membranes as soon as they come into contact with the skin, causing signs of premature aging such as fine lines and wrinkles as well as hyperpigmentation, flaky patches of skin and loss of elasticity. Many people usually prefer to use vitamin C in their morning routine as this ingredient gives the complexion a radiant glow. You’ll also find that vitamin C can target areas of hyperpigmentation, plumping the skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The thing about vitamin C is that there are a lot of outdated studies going back to the 1950s that describe vitamin C as an unstable skin component. Thanks to improvements in modern technology, this is no longer the case as all products now contain a stable form of vitamin C. Visit The Beauty Insider to learn more about vitamin C. So please check out our blog post. Can I use salicylic acid first and then vitamin C? Yes, you absolutely can. In fact, it’s thought that using salicylic acid before using vitamin C ensures it penetrates faster and works faster. This is an efficient way to utilize two power sources, and the reason has to do with pH. For example, the skin’s natural pH is about 4.7, making it slightly acidic. Salicylic acid and vitamin C are also both acidic, and you’ll find that vitamin C is absorbed quickly into the skin. Therefore, using salicylic acid beforehand can increase the acidity of the skin and allow vitamin C to penetrate into the skin faster. While this is considered an effective way to combine two powerful ingredients, you need to be aware of your skin type and how it reacts to certain active ingredients. Even people with perfect, normal skin can experience skin sensitivity and irritation. Therefore, always consult a doctor or dermatologist before using any new products on your skin. It’s also important to follow skin application rules. In this case, you need to use the product correctly to ensure you get the best results for your skin. If you’re not sure what I mean, the basic rule for skin is to start with the thinnest consistency and work your way up to the thickest consistency. This prevents a barrier from forming on the surface, preventing other active ingredients from penetrating the skin. Can I use salicylic acid at night and vitamin C in the morning? Yes, absolutely, this is considered the most effective way to get returns without any adverse side effects. This is because there is enough time between applications to ensure that the skin’s pH levels return to balance. You’ll also find that Vitamin C is rich in antioxidants and is perfect for use in the morning to ensure your skin is protected and looking its healthiest. Due to the small size of salicylic acid molecules, it is an acid that is able to reach the deepest parts of the skin. While this is effective at keeping skin clear, it also increases the risk of irritation and photosensitivity. Therefore, many people prefer to use powerful BHAs in their evening routine without exposure to UV rays, pollution, or harsh weather. Warning: If you avoid using sunscreen every day, none of these ingredients will do what your skin needs. The combination of chemical peels and powerful ingredients increases the risk of further damage to the skin’s surface. Use SPF 50 every day to keep your skin protected and your lipid barrier healthy, even on cloudy days, keeping your skin in top condition.
